Protect Your Server From Crypto Scams

Automatically detect and delete crypto scam content before your members can fall for it. Built for Discord servers that need zero-hassle protection against evolving scams.

The bot continuously monitors chat in real-time for:

Scam images — catches and removes fake investment ticket screenshots and proof images
Suspicious links — cross-references against known malware, phishing, and scam domain databases, following shortlink redirects before deciding
Disposable / young domains — flags and removes links and image-linked domains newer than a configurable age threshold
Invite link control — optionally block all Discord server invites (with permission bypass for mods)
Link whitelist — allow specific trusted domains like YouTube while removing everything else
Per-server and per-user language settings let the bot reply in whichever language fits your community.

Completely free, easy to set up, and actively maintained — new scam patterns are added as they appear.

btw are you just getting rid of bad messages or you also handle user sanctions?

It does both, but everything is toggleable, by default its turned off
So bot can log, log and delete, mute, ban and dm the user

if you were referring to that

Changelog 5/22/2026

Security Improvements
- Added protection against oversized images that could overload the server — oversized images are safely ignored before being processed.
- Added phishing payload detection — suspicious file patterns in images are now blocked.
- Added image dimension limits to prevent memory exhaustion attacks.

Performance Improvements
- The image-scanning system now automatically adjusts how fast it processes images. When scam traffic spikes, it speeds up. When it's quiet, it slows down to save resources. Users shouldn't notice any difference, but server load is much more stable.

btw, have u thought about replacing OCR with gemma? Gemma is really good for moderation and it's easy to download and host urself

intereseting O: how do you detect phishing payloads?

gemma is also decent at image understanding tasks, but it does take some ram/vram...

I've tested 26b for this and it was very decent

Yeah, im trying it out

Every image attachment enters ImageScanService.scan_bytes, before opening the image or OCR runs, it does two security checks:
rejects empty/tiny payloads under 8 bytes as invalid_image_format, it calls _detect_suspicious_image_patterns, as shown below

def _detect_suspicious_image_patterns(self, payload: bytes) -> bool: try: check_bytes = payload[:64].decode("latin-1", errors="ignore").lower() suspicious = ["<?php", "<%", "#!", "script>", "eval(", "exec(", "system("] return any(p in check_bytes for p in suspicious) except Exception: return False

Sending a example in dm

wait, doesnt that mean that

fwiw I found this model recently https://huggingface.co/numind/NuExtract3, I haven't tried it yet but looks promising for doc parsing / moderation

specially since it's a small model

Have you found tesseract to be reliable? O:

Seems to be doing fine so far - I haven't heard any inaccurate hits yet

Awesome, i will check it out - thank you

AntiScamBot Patch Note

We’ve upgraded how AntiScamBot detects scam images.

The bot now uses a newer image understanding system instead of the previous OCR-based approach. This means AntiScamBot no longer has to rely mainly on pulling text out of an image and matching it against rules. It can now look at the full image context more directly, including things like fake Nitro gifts, suspicious Discord-style screenshots, fake promotions, scam links, and misleading visual layouts.

What changed
- Improved scam image detection.
- Better understanding of fake Discord/Nitro screenshots.
- Fewer missed scams caused by hard-to-read or stylised text.
- Fewer false positives from harmless screenshots.
- No more public “scanning” or benchmark-style messages in chat.
- If a scam image is detected, the bot silently follows the server’s configured actions:
- delete the message if enabled
- timeout the user if enabled
- send moderator alerts if enabled
- report according to server settings

Why this is better
The old system depended heavily on OCR, which meant detection could be affected by blurry text, weird fonts, screenshots, image compression, or partial text. Scam images often try to hide behind exactly those tricks.

The new system is better at judging the image as a whole, not just reading words from it. That makes it more reliable for modern scam posts, especially fake Discord gift screens, Nitro scams, impersonation attempts, phishing pages, and copied giveaway images.

What server owners need to know
Your existing moderation settings still apply. If your server has auto-delete, alerts, timeouts, or reports configured, AntiScamBot will continue using those settings..

AntiScamBOT Update

We’ve improved image scam detection to reduce false positives and catch more dangerous posts.

• Normal in-game screenshots, such as spins, tickets, rewards, inventories, and game UI, should be handled better.
• Posts telling users to turn off Windows Smart App Control, antivirus, Defender, firewall, or other security protections will now be treated as dangerous.
• The bot should be better at telling the difference between harmless game content and scam/malware instructions.

This update helps keep the server safer while reducing unnecessary flags on legitimate screenshots.

AntiScamBOT Update

New Join‑Account Scam Detection
- Checks newly joined members for scam/fake‑account signals using AI image analysis + profile metadata (username, avatar, bio, banner, badges, account age, etc.).
- Configurable via /setupbot and /antiscam‑settings: Off (default), Flag only, or Flag + Kick.
- When enabled and a suspicious join is detected, the bot posts an alert to the configured moderation channel.
- In Flag + Kick mode, the bot will attempt to kick the user.

Enable the feature in your server with /setupbot or tweak it later via /antiscam‑settings.

Patch Notes – AntiScamBot Update (2026-06-03)

What’s new:

• Longer watch for new members: The bot now monitors members for 24 hours after they join (up from 30 minutes), checking their messages throughout that period for scam patterns.
• Smarter scam detection for recent joins: Updated the model to look for specific scams like:
• Fake business offers (“inbox me for paid reputation/review removal”).
• Out-of-context funds/sales/profit screenshots used as proof of earnings.
• Broad creative/marketing bios (only flagged unless paired with stronger evidence like links or payment requests).
• Timeouts no longer trigger global watching: Being timed out in Discord (for any reason) will no longer cause the bot to watch that user globally for future messages.
• Cross‑guild checks are scam‑focused: When the bot sees a user who was moderated in another server, it only counts that as a risk if the prior action was scam‑related (not just a timeout or unrelated moderation).
• Faster image handling: The bot can now reprocess multiple images at the same time (using a thread pool), so it stays responsive while scanning pictures.
